9 osinfo-db-export [OPTIONS...] [ARCHIVE-FILE]
10
12 The osinfo-db-export tool will create an osinfo database archive file
13 containing the content from one of the standard local database
14 locations:
15
16 system
17 This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by
18 operating system vendors distributing database files in the native
19 package format.
20
21 local
22 This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use
23 by system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for
24 all users.
25
26 user
27 This is the user private database location, intended for use by
28 unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with
29 an updated database.
30
31 If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location
32 will be used by default, otherwise the user location will be used.
33
34 If no ARCHIVE-FILE path is given, an automatically generated filename
35 will be used, taking the format osinfo-db-$VERSION.tar.xz.
36
38 --user Override the default behaviour to force archiving files from
39 the user database location.
40
41 --local Override the default behaviour to force archiving files from
42 the local database location.
43
44 --system
45 Override the default behaviour to force archiving files from
46 the system database location.
47
48 --dir=PATH
49 Override the default behaviour to force archiving files from
50 the custom directory PATH.
51
52 --root=PATH
53 Prefix the database location with the root directory given by
54 "PATH". This is useful when wishing to archive files that are
55 in a chroot environment or equivalent.
56
57 --version=VERSION
58 Set the version string for the files in the archive to VERSION.
59 If this argument is not given, the version will be set to the
60 current date in the format YYYYMMDD.
61
62 --license=LICENSE-FILE
63 Add "LICENSE-FILE" to the generated archive as an entry named
64 "LICENSE".
65
66 -v, --verbose
67 Display verbose progress information when archiving files
68
70 The exit status will be 0 if all files were packed successfully, or 1
71 if at least one file could not be packed into the archive.
